Do Leprechauns live in Maine?

Fairy houses at the Maine Botanical Gardens.

Leprechauns may have stowed away with the Irish when they arrived in the 1800s.

Or fairies may have always lived in Maine.

But one thing’s for sure, there are some enterprising sprites developing some nice properties around here.

These charming residences were spotted at Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Every winter storm brings new life to some of Maine’s most appealing creatures.

Lobster beats turkey.

It’s been a turkey of a year for lobstermen still struggling with the current market and various economic pressures, eventually resulting in scarey stories of shootings this summer.

The lobster story continues as Linda Bean, the L.L. Bean heiress, initiates her new Linda Bean’s Perfect Maine (Lobster) Company. Concerned about the plight of the local lobstermen, she’s invested millions into the company, with plans to open 100 franchises, nationwide, of her version of the lobster shack.

So this year, once again, give thanks to your local lobsterman by treating yourself to the luxury of a lobster dinner!

(A similar post ran last year and it’s still unforutnately appropriate this year. Don’t want to run it next!)

Food for spiders.

Spider web, Maine.

Spiders hopefully won’t be found in the lines at Market Basket, Chases Daily, or Farm Fare, but they have a fantastic alternative.
